"Then in September, a customer of Noosa Junction Newsagency won a Saturday Gold Lotto prize of $862,335.31.

"More recently, a Noosa couple won $250,000 with a $5 Instant Scratch-Its ticket from Noosa Plaza Newsagency. The ticket had been gifted to them as a Secret Santa present," Ms Knobel added.

"Lotto luck is certainly shining on the Noosa area. With our Saturday Gold Lotto $20 Million Superdraw coming up on the 9th of February, perhaps we'll see some more happy winners on the Sunshine Coast!"
